GXT 865 Asta Mechanical keyboard

The media could not be loaded. I had a high end board and it's rubbish compared to this. My old board you couldn't read the keys even with the lights on full. The keys are lovely to type on, with a satisfying click from the switches that's not too loud. The lights are lovely and bright making the keys stand out and very clear to read the keys. The key caps come off with ease with just your fingers, you dont need the cap puller at all. Overall build quality is great, not too heavy and has zero bend in the board and is build very sturdy. I've been using computers since the 80's and this has to be the most satisfying board I've ever used.. on a gaming point you can swap the WASD and arrow keys around so the WASD keys become the arrow keys and the arrow keys become thee WASD keys to make gaming easier if your left handed. Haven't got a single complaint, well worth the money. For a cheep mechanical board this makes my high end one look and feel like trash. Response time from the keys is spot on for gaming and normal office work, There is no double typing, that is when you press a key it comes up on the screen as if you pressed it twice, it doesn't happen no matter how soft or hard you press the keys.

I bought this as a work keyboard as I am a fan of mechanical keyboards from owning one at home for gaming.The red switches I believe are similar to the Cherry Red MX switches.I can confirm that they have a similar feeling - perhaps not quite as fast as the actuation force required seems to be slightly higher.Regardless, it is are a lot better than a non-mechanical keyboard and perfectly fine to use in a work environment.Depending on how the keys are pressed, this keyboard can be virtually silent if typed upon with just the right amount of force to register but not actually press down to the bottom of the travel on the key.Even going at full force it is not much louder than a normal keyboard. Certainly not that noticeable in the context of an open plan office.Build quality is very good. Very solid and belies the modest cost.The legs to raise the back of the keyboard higher are also sturdy and do not look like they will break/snap easily.The only quibble on this front would be that it doesn't seem to be rated for dust and liquid. Pulling up the space key and the A key shows that there are gaps which allow access to the underlying circuit board. Thus it would probably benefit from a dust cover when not in use and not having lunch / beverages being consumed over the top of it.A good addition would be a wrist rest.

This Trust Gaming keyboard is a decent budget option for gamers. Plug and play? Check. Instant rainbow light show on your desk? Double check!Now, about those red switches - they're not as quiet as advertised. If you're expecting whisper-quiet typing, you might be in for a surprise. They're still linear, which is nice for gaming, but don't count on them being silent ninjas.The keys aren't top-notch, but for the price, they're passable. You get what you pay for, and in this case, it's a entry-level mechanical feel with some flashy RGB to boot.It's got some cool features like anti-ghosting and media keys, plus that handy gaming mode to avoid accidental desktop trips. The metal top plate adds a touch of sturdiness you wouldn't expect at this price point.Bottom line: If you want to dip your toes into mechanical keyboards with some fun lighting without emptying your wallet, this'll do the trick. It's not perfect, and those switches aren't as quiet as claimed, but it gets the job done with a bit of flair. Just don't expect premium quality and you won't be disappointed!

Honestly could not get over the quality of this board. Straight out of the box you could instantly feel how solid and weighty it is. Connection was simple and instant and the keys are full on mechanical so we could key spam away like crazy without a worry of damaging the board. This is definitely ideal when you have 3 young kids all using it to game. Nice easy one key to alternate between lighting modes and works perfectly fine in a dark room especially when gaming mode is set. Highly recommend as a starter gaming keyboard fro anyone interested.

This was a present for my youngest son’s birthday & he absolutely loves it. Does exactly what he wants it to do,I.e use for his Xbox rather than his controller. Good quality. Highly recommend.

Bit annoyed that the day after I paid for this it went down in price by a few quid, but hey. It feels better than any mechanical keyboard that I have used so far. I have never paid more than £50 for a keyboard granted, and this came close, but feels far superior to previous ones so far. I hope this lasts longer than 12/18 months this time however. The reason for buying mechanical keyboards is for longeivity and so far none have lived up to that billing in my experience. If this does then it is a winner and will buy again.

I've had this keyboard for over a month now unlike my last keyboard it had very loud keys and with me have auditory autism this keyboard is a lot quieter and a lot easier to deal with as long as you are not slamming down on the keys that is. It has a lovely wight it and doesn't move around at all with use it also comes with a key cap remover to make cleaning behind the keys nice and easy. If I had to buy another cheap quiet keyboard again This will be my first go to. xx
